Aamer Malik: Launched first class career with twin tons

Aamer Malik was born on January 3, 1963 in Mandi Bahauddin, Punjab. He was a right hand batsman and wicket keeper who played in 14 Tests and 24 ODIs from 1987 to 1994. In 1987, he took over from Ray Berry as the professional at Hyde CC, playing in the Central Lancashire League.

Aamer Malik was one of only three men to score a century in both innings of his first-class debut (Arthur Morris and Nari Contractor are the others) after he made a seven-hour unbeaten 98 in his second Test, made back-to-back hundreds against India in 1989-90, took a Test stumping as stand-in keeper (Richie Richardson), took one Test wicket (Australia's Peter Taylor - batting at No. 2) and was recalled after a four-year absence to face Australia in 1994-95. He helped save the second Test with a crucial second-innings 65 ... and was dropped, this time for good.
